FREE Educational Webinar: Third-Party Collection Vendor Management, A Case Study
Thursday 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Hospitals increasingly rely on third-party collection agencies to work patient accounts. With rising numbers of patient receivables, the scale and scope of these relationships is likely to increase. Unfortunately, given the reality of today?s operational connection between providers and their agencies, adding vendors and increasing reliance is not an easy decision.
Day-to-day management of provider-agency relationships can be cumbersome and unproductive for the hospital and vendors. Hospital resources can be consumed with auditing and reconciling vendor invoices or chasing information for issue resolution. There is limited visibility into vendor?s activity and compliance with provider?s specific collection policies. Inconsistent reporting make performance reviews virtually impossible.
Vendor management technology that automates account placement, recall and data of collection agency and other third party collection partners can transform existing situations.
A case study of a major multi-facility hospital network will explore operations prior to and after adopting vendor management technology. Key insights gleaned in the adoption process will also be explained. See how technology can be used to radically improve performance while reducing your workload.
Learn:
1. Common issues providers face in working with 3rd party collection resources
2. How vendor management technology can transform the operational reality
3. The benefits partners realize as a result
4. The key elements to a successful implementation
